Yonkman likely headed back to Milwaukee

Defenseman Nolan Yonkman will likely be reassigned to Milwaukee on Sunday morning prior to the Pittsburgh game.

The Preds are holding on to him right now just in case there are developments with Dan Hamhuis’ wife, who is close to having the couple’s second child. Assuming Hamhuis does not have to return to Nashville tonight or on Sunday, Yonkman will head back to Milwaukee.
